Cristina Perez, LMFT

Cristina Perez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. She works with adults to sort through everyday pressures and the heavier emotional stuff. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at clearer thinking and steadier mood. With 14 years of experience, Cristina focuses on communication problems, caregiver stress, social anxiety, and mood disorders. She guides clients in building self-esteem and finding coping strategies that fit daily life. Sessions center on what needs attention now and what skills will help later. Cristina uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to test small behavior changes. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts keep affecting present choices. Those methods are applied in straightforward ways to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. She aims to make sessions a space for practical problem solving and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Cristina encourages clients to set clear goals and to try manageable steps between meetings. People who contact her can expect calm, organized sessions that balance listening with clear guidance. She helps clients recognize strengths, experiment with new habits, and move toward better emotional balance.
